NEW Zealand national coach, Daniel Anderson is faced with a dilema of sorts. He must decide if time constraints will make it worth his while to bring current Kiwi team members, utility Robbie Paul, fullback Richie Barnett, wingers Lesley Vainikolo and Tevita Vaikona and centre Shontayne Hape back from Great Britain to join the Kiwi squad for the NZ-Australia test in Sydney on July 25th.

WAKEFIELD and former Featherstone stand-off, Jamie Rooney, combined superbly with veteran half-back Brad Davis and Richard Newlove to lay on all three of their side's tries and also kicked five goals from six attempts to get his side up to a 22 - 18 win over bottom placed Halifax.

ANDY Farrell made a dream comeback from his knee injury by kicking the drop goal which gave Wigan a 21-20 win over Warrington on Friday night.

Shaun Briscoe scored two tries for the Warriors, with Adrian Lam also crossing, while a 12-point haul for Lee Briers, with a try, three goals and two drop goals, added to scores for Sid Domic and Brent Grose, was just not enough for the visitors.
Warrington cashed in on brilliant kicking from skipper Briers to deservedly lead 12-6 at half-time.
In a see-sawing game played at a frenetic pace, Briers darted over for Warringtons third try and the conversion made it 18-18.
Two Briers' drop goals edged Warrington in front before Farrell levelled it with a penalty and then hit the crucial one-pointer to grab the win the match seconds from time.

THE Brisbane Broncos have farewelled ANZ Stadium in style with a 36-16 victory over the Melbourne Storm. The scoreline was not a true indication of the closeness of the match. Melbourne fought hard and once they get their injured players back, will be an outside chance at making the top four.
